When tourism came to a halt during COVID, Wild Sumatra Eco-Tourism added coffee growing and production to their venture. While staying true to their beliefs, they sought to grow coffee in an eco-friendly and sustainable way. Their ideas and techniques bring a change to the traditional coffee farming industry in Sumatra.

However, social impact is also happening in ways not previously predicted. For example, in 2018, HFC opened a village office (Freedom Hub) in Nepal, where they could employ women and provide them with a safe working environment. The opening of the office presented another opportunity for the business to make a difference in the lives of the community's children. Many of the neighbor kids were curious about HFC and began bringing their homework to the office after school for help.
